Tisdale adds another USA Basketball invite

Mike Tisdale's participation in a USA Basketball training camp developed into something else: an invitation to another USA Basketball training camp.

There were 20 college players on the select team that trained with and against the national team last week in Las Vegas. Ten of those college guys will practice against the national team in New York City from Aug. 10-16. Tisdale's one of them.

Finally...It’s Showtime!! I'm hoping to see a ‘track meet’ with the game being played above the rim.

That's great news. Maybe that game will be a chance for the Big Ten to shake off the claim of it being a slow paced, low scoring, defensive minded game. Even if that isn't a bad style of play imo.
